Cut Talk Good, But Will Not Go Through

Hello. The subject of adjusted cuts came up last week. In summary, the cut would decrease from 70 and ties to 60 and ties to a maximum of 70. The main reason for this proposal is when an event gets weather delayed, it's tough to make up the time having 70+ players teeing off would require.
First of all, I don't think this has a chance of flying. The players would be just as opposed to this as they were to Tiger's new event in July being 120 players instead of 156. Players want the security the current cut gives.
Secondly, it doesn't really gain you much, maybe only 5 groups maximum, or at most an hour. Simply having players starting on the 10th tee should resolve that issue.
What should be done is what wasn't done when Mickelson and O'Hair were over a hole behind Sunday - have the offending player (in this case O'Hair) penalized 1 stroke for slow play. You would only have to do this once to one player to let everyone know you're serious. Players would speed up considerably if they knew a win or a cut made hung in the balance.
By speeding up play, tournaments should be finished on time, even with weather delays.

Steve
